Forward collision alert The forward collision alert may help toavoid or reduce the harm caused by
front-end crashes.
The forward collision alert uses the
front camera system in the
windscreen to detect a vehicle
directly ahead, in your path, within a
distance of approx. 60 m.
A vehicle ahead is indicated by the
control indicator A.
If a vehicle directly ahead is
approached too quickly, a warning
chime is sounded.
Additionally, the driver is notified by a
flashing red LED stripe which is
projected on the windscreen in the
driver's field of view.
A precondition is that forward collision alert is not deactivated in the vehicle
personalisation 3 91.
Activation
Forward collision alert operates
automatically above 8 km/h, if it is not deactivated in the vehicle
personalisation menu.
Alerting the driver
The vehicle ahead control indicator
A illuminates green in the instrument
cluster when the system has detected
a vehicle in the driving path.
The control indicator A changes to
yellow when the distance to a
preceding moving vehicle gets too
small or when approaching another
vehicle too rapidly.Caution
The colour lighting of this control
indicator does not correspond to
local traffic laws on following
distance. The driver bears full
responsibility for maintaining safe
following distance according to
applicable traffic rules, weather
and road conditions etc. at all
times.
When the time to a potential collision
with a vehicle in front gets too small
and a collision is imminent, the driver
is notified by a flashing red LED stripe which is projected on the windscreen
in the driver's field of view.

General information
9 Warning
Forward collision alert is just a
warning system and does not
apply the brakes. When

Driving and operating169supplemental use only to reduce
the vehicle speed before a
collision.
The system may not react to
animals. After a sudden lane
change, the system needs a
certain time to detect the next
preceding vehicle.
The driver must always be ready
to take action and apply the brakes
and steer to avoid collisions.
Functionality
If equipped only with front camera the
active emergency braking operates in
a forward gear above walking speed
up to 80 km/h.
A precondition is that the system is
not deactivated in the vehicle
personalisation menu 3 91.
The system includes: ● brake preparation system
● emergency automatic braking ● forward looking brake assist
● front pedestrian protection system
Brake preparation system
When approaching a vehicle ahead
or a pedestrian so quickly that a
collision is likely, the brake
preparation system slightly
pressurises the brakes. This reduces
the response time, when a manual or automatic braking is requested.
The brake system is prepared so that
braking can occur more rapidly.
If equipped only with front camera the system operates up to a speed of
80 km/h.
Emergency automatic braking After activation of brake preparation
system and just before the imminent
collision, this function automatically
applies limited braking to reduce the
impact speed of the collision or
prevent a crash.
Depending on the situation, the
vehicle may automatically brake
moderately or hard. This front
automatic braking can only occur if a
vehicle ahead is detected, indicated
by the vehicle ahead indicator A
3 166. On vehicles with frontpedestrian protection, automatic
braking can also occur when a
pedestrian ahead is detected,
indicated by the pedestrian ahead
indicator 7.
The system operates up to a speed of
80 km/h.
Below a speed of 40 km/h the system can apply full braking.
Emergency automatic braking may slow the vehicle to a complete stop to
try to avoid a potential crash. If this
happens, emergency automatic
braking may engage the electric
parking brake to hold the vehicle at a
stop. To release, push the electric
parking brake switch or firmly depress the accelerator pedal.9 Warning
Emergency automatic braking is
an emergency crash preparation
feature and is not designed to
avoid crashes. Do not rely on the
system to brake the vehicle.
Emergency automatic braking will

170Driving and operatingnot brake outside of its operatingspeed range and only responds to
detected vehicles.
Forward looking brake assist
In addition to the brake preparation
system and emergency automatic
braking, the forward looking brake
assist function makes the brake assist more sensitive. Therefore,
depressing the brake pedal less
strongly results in immediate hard
braking. This function helps the driver
brake quicker and harder before an
imminent collision.
The system operates up to a speed of 80 km/h.
9 Warning
Active emergency braking is not
designed to apply hard
autonomous braking or to
automatically avoid a collision. It is designed to reduce the vehicle
speed before a collision. It may not
react to animals. After a sudden
lane change, the system needs a
certain time to detect the next
preceding vehicle.
The complete attention of the
driver is always required while
driving. The driver must always be
ready to take action and apply the brakes and steer to avoid
collisions.
Intelligent brake assist
Intelligent brake assist may activate
when the brake pedal is applied
quickly by providing a boost to
braking based on the speed of
approach and distance to a vehicle
ahead.
Minor brake pedal pulsations or pedal movement during this time are normal and the brake pedal should continue
to be applied as required. Intelligent
brake assist will automatically
disengage only when the brake pedal is released.
9 Warning
Intelligent brake assist may
increase vehicle braking in
situations when it may not be
necessary. You could block the
flow of traffic. If this occurs, take
your foot off the brake pedal and
then apply the brakes as needed.
Front pedestrian protection
Front pedestrian protection 3 171.
Deactivation Active emergency braking can be
deactivated in the personalisation
menu in the Info display 3 91.
If deactivated, a message is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.
The system is reactivated the next time the vehicle is switched on.
System limitations In some cases, the active emergencybraking system may provide
automatic braking in situations that
seem to be unnecessary, for instance

Fault
The system may not operate properly
when:
● Ice, snow, mud, or anything else covers the sensors.
● The vehicle had a rear end accident.
● There are extreme temperature changes.
Traffic sign assistant
Functionality Traffic sign assistant detects
designated traffic signs via a front
camera and displays them in the
Driver Information Centre.
Traffic signs, which will be detected, are:
Limit and no passing signs ● speed limit
● no passing
● end of speed limit
● end of no passingRoad signs
Beginning and end of:
● city regions (country-specific)● motorways
● A-roads
● play streetsAdd on signs ● additional hints to traffic signs
● restriction of trailer towing
● tractor constraints
● wet warning
● ice warning
● time constraints
● distance constraints
● direction arrows
Speed limit signs and no passing
signs are displayed in the Driver
Information Centre until the next
speed limit sign or end of speed limit
is detected or up to a defined sign
timeout.
Indication of multiple signs on the
display is possible.

192Driving and operatingDeactivation
The system is deactivated by
pressing a; the LED in the button
extinguishes.
The system is reactivated the next
time the vehicle is switched on.
Fault
The system performance may be affected by:
● windscreen not clean or affected by foreign items, e.g. stickers
● close vehicles ahead
● banked roads
● winding or hilly roads
● road edges
● roads with poor lane markings
● sudden lighting changes
● adverse environmental conditions e.g. heavy rain or
snow
● vehicle modifications, e.g. tyresSwitch off the system if the system is
disturbed by tar marks, shadows,
road cracks, temporary or
construction lane markings, or other
road imperfections.9 Warning
Always keep your attention on the
road and maintain proper vehicle
position within the lane, otherwise
vehicle damage, injury or death
could occur.
The system does not detect
pedestrians, cyclists or animals on
the road. Steer the vehicle
manually to avoid injuries and
deaths.
Lane keep assist does not
continuously steer the vehicle.
The system may not keep the
vehicle in the lane or give an alert, even if a lane marking is detected.
The steering of the lane keep
assist may not be sufficient to
avoid a lane departure.
The system may not detect hands-
off driving due to external
influences (road condition and
surface, weather etc). The driver
has full responsibility to control the vehicle and is always required tokeep the hands on the steeringwheel while driving.
Using the system while driving on
slippery roads could cause loss of control of the vehicle and a crash.
Switch off the system.
